OK.

A subtle difference is that a call to commit_msg is made when the
test is actually run, not when the test script is prepared to be
passed (as a parameter) to test_expect_success helper.  I think the
result of applying this patch, i.e. running $(commit_msg) inside the
test, is easier to read and understand.
